EUROPE - EUROMILLIONS LOTTERY RESULTS

In 2011, Europe's EuroMillions lotto broke the record for the largest jackpot in the continent’s history. EuroMillions was launched in 2004, and nine different European countries participate in the lottery’s multi-national jackpots. Many more players access EuroMillions as an online lotto, and the pan-European lottery frequently has one of the world's biggest lotto jackpots featured on theBig.

EuroMillions History

The EuroMillions was created in 2004 by three major national lottery organizations in France, Spain and the UK. Eventually the Austrian, Belgian, Irish, Luxembourg, Portuguese and Swiss lotteries joined the multi-country lottery to create the EuroMillions as it is known today. The largest jackpots include: €183 million both in February and November of 2006, €185 million in July of 2011 and €190 million in August of 2012.  

EuroMillions Rules

Players at theLotter.com interested in the EuroMillions lottery jackpot can play by selecting 5 numbers from a pool of 50, as well as two additional numbers called the “Lucky Stars”, which are chosen from a different pool of 11 numbers. The additional number allows lottery players to win supplementary prizes and is essential to complete the jackpot winning numbers selection. Players may pick their numbers manually, can use their preselected numbers (My Lucky Numbers) or can have the numbers randomly chosen (Quick Pick). theLotter.com offers a systematic form of 6, 7, 8 or 10 numbers which produces all possible entry combinations of the selected numbers. Additionally, players can ensure they are entered into all lotteries as well as receive exclusive discounts draws with a Subscription or with a Multi-Draw.

Twice a year, EuroMillions offers players the option of entering the EuroMillion’s Super Draw. In the Super Draw, the jackpot starts at €100 million and grows until the jackpot is won. Until now, the Super Draw’s first jackpot has never been claimed and a set of rollovers has always ensued. 

Online lotto ticket purchases close three hours prior to the drawings which occur every Tuesday and Friday evening, at 20:00 GMT. EuroMillions results are available on theLotter.com at approximately 22:00 GMT every Tuesday and Friday. For lottery results from around the world click here.

Winning the EuroMillions 

There are 13 impressive EuroMillions categories, and to win the jackpot, players must correctly guess five regular numbers as well as the two ‘Lucky Star’ numbers. Part of the excitement of EuroMillions is that the amount that can be won for each division is not set to a standard amount. The Euromillions’ jackpot starts from €15 million and keeps getting bigger with each rollover until a pre-determined jackpot cap. Once the lottery reaches the jackpot cap, now €195 million, it can roll over one more time (one additional week) and if it is not won, the funds are distributed down to the secondary prize divisions. Jackpot winners have three months to claim their prize, which can only be received as a lump sum (a one-time payment).
